Relevant Information:

Lives alongside Corydoras
nattereri in white water and clearwater
streams in the coastal lowlands. The males do not sport the extended
pectoral and dorsal spines as do other members of this genera.
The females are wider in the girth when sexually mature, the males
are smaller. As with other species of Scleromystax, will
do better in cooler temperatures. Aquarium Care:
As with most members of the Callichthyidaethey
are peaceful. The Scleromystax genera are good additions
to "cool water" aquarium set ups with maybe other cool
water fish such as White Cloud Mountain Minnows and other fish
that are comfortable with a temperature around the 70°f (21.5°c)
mark. Diet: As with other members of the Corydoradinae
they relish tablet and good quality flake food with frozen bloodworm
a firm favourite. They are also keen on chopped earthworms and
other worm foods such as white worm used sparingly, and grindal
worm.
